Jack Mulhall, popular First National layer, portrays the screen’s first dual alking role in his Vitaphone offering, 1“Dark_Streets,” which comes to the Farle Theater on Friday at midnight. In this story, adapted from Richard Connell's short tale, “Pat and Mike,” 4 Mulball_portrays two brothers. The characterization is doubly difficult, however, as one of the boys is a cop and the other a gangster. Frank L director of “Dark Streets,” worked out the technical de- (tails to make possible the extremely difficult feat of having Mulhall apprar |mot only in two characterizations in the mame scene, but to “talk to himself” in the dialogue sequences. “Dark Streets” is a stirring story of 'the underworld. Lila Lee appears op- osite Mulhall as the sweetheart of oth the cop and the crook. i An added ‘surprise attraction for the roming week will be the personal ap- pearance of Kate Smith, Washington's Sophie Tucker, Miss Smith has just yeturned from & successful vaudeville engagement and will appear at the Farle for one week only, starting with the Friday midnight show, COLUMBIA—"Madame X.” Popular demand, it is announced, gkeeps Metro-Goldwyn-Maver's talking gereen version of the famous melo- ,drama, “Madame X.” at Loew’s Colum- bia for a second week.

VIENNA (M).—Defeat in war changed the whole political and geographical structure of the old Austro-Hungarian monarchy, but red tape, an inheritance from the imperial regime, has survived. Austria is, indeed, often called the most bureaucratic country in Europe. ] Although the littie state with its 6,-1 000,000 inhabitants is sdmittedly the ! poorest country of Europe, the number | of its civil servants, as compared with before the war, has almost doubled.
